People Deeply Worried About Trump’s Health After New Photo Reveals Heavy Foundation On His Hand

Donald Trump has raised fresh questions about his health after people noticed what looked like heavy makeup or foundation covering his hand.

His health has been under the spotlight ever since he took office, with much of the attention focused on recurring bruises that appeared on his hand during public events.

Back in February, when he met with French president Emmanuel Macron in the Oval Office, photos showed a large yellow bruise on his right hand. Just weeks later, in March, more noticeable dark bruises were spotted across his palm.

By April, the mark had shown up again, with White House officials brushing it off as a sign of his nonstop workload.

But a more recent image that has been circulating online has fueled fresh concern. The photo shows his hand at his side, covered in makeup that doesn’t match the rest of his skin tone, making it look pale and oddly blended.

The unusual appearance quickly set off speculation across social media.

Plenty of commenters online suggested this might be a warning sign about his overall health.

One person asked: “What health conditions could make Trump’s hands look like that?”

Another echoed those concerns by writing: “His hands were bruised, his skin pale, his ankles swollen, what is going on with my president?”

Someone else added their shock, asking: “Is this real? what happened?”

The White House, however, has pushed back before, claiming these marks are simply the result of him shaking hands with so many people every day.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended him, saying: “President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history.”

“His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day.”

She went on to insist: “President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.”

Concerns about Trump’s health grew even more when people noticed his swollen ankles earlier this year. Shortly after, doctors confirmed he had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).

The 79-year-old was spotted at the FIFA Club World Cup final with swelling around his legs, prompting Leavitt to share his diagnosis on July 17.

She read aloud a statement from his physician which said: “Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.”

She explained that further tests had been done to rule out other illnesses, and all came back ‘within normal limits’.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, chronic venous insufficiency happens when veins in the legs become damaged and are no longer able to push blood back up to the heart the way they should.

It’s estimated that venous disease impacts around one in three adults in the United States, with CVI specifically affecting about one in 20 adults.

The condition weakens the valves that help blood flow upward, which causes blood to pool in the legs instead.

This buildup leads to higher pressure that can make tiny blood vessels burst, resulting in swelling and sometimes ulcers.

Treatments can include compression therapy, making healthy lifestyle changes, or even surgery in more serious cases.

Doctors also recommend keeping the legs elevated for part of the day, getting more regular physical activity like walking, and maintaining a healthy weight to help manage the condition.
